Therapists in Newmarket

“Everyone has the capacity to change. It is often the challenges of life stress, biology, and circumstances that keep us from becoming the person that we want to be. Therapy is a partnership and through mutual goal setting we can address the things that get in the way of your ability to do the things that are important to you. My professional experience has been with children and families and the challenges adults face as they create relationships or families of their own.

“Are you tired of judging your body and yourself harshly? Would you like to feel better about yourself and more comfortable in your body? Body image concerns and eating patterns that are out of balance can interfere with our capacity to live joyfully. With 25 years experience treating eating disorders, I have come to believe that orienting to ourselves with acceptance, developing trust in ourselves, and developing our capacities for present-moment awareness are crucial in the healing process. I collaborate with clients to clarify their intentions and to create an atmosphere of acceptance and mindful awareness which facilitates positive change.

“I find that a client is best served when they are listened to, validated, but also challenged to make positive change. That is why I take a cognitive behavioral approach to the counseling I do. Whether the client is a child or adult we all have the ability to learn from the past and make different choices for the future.

I specialize in treating children with anxiety, depression, ADHD and ODD as well as family conflict that often accompanies these issues. I work to give parents the support needed to better relate to their children, at the same time giving the child the opportunity to have the confidential and secure environment to explore their own feelings, behaviors and goals.
